he inherited a bad economy from george bush. many voters agree with that. nonetheless the numbers don't quite add up. what about mitt romney's claim about 23 million people unemployed? we need context and let me bring some tools up here to talk about this. median income in this country is about $51,000. here are categories we can look at. mid wage and low wage and high wage and what most of the people in the country are making right now. if you consider what happened during the recession. look. everyone lost jobs but the low wage jobs did not lose as much. when the jobs started to come back, look what happened? the low wage rose the most. so amongst the jobs we lost or gained, basically, we lost better jobs than what we regained. you have to consider that if you wean even come clos to mitt romney's number of 23 million. he is saying everyone is unemployed and given up on looking for work and everybody who is part-time who would like to be full-time in all actuality, although that adds up to about 23 million he is doing the same thing barack obama is doing.
